Enterprise AI is evolving from model calls to agent workloads, creating new infrastructure requirements across compute, storage, networking, security, and governance. This blog explores the challenges of building agent-ready infrastructure and how SmartX ECP enables a unified platform for traditional applications, model inference, and agent workloads.
CPU utilization is not always the cause of VM performance issues. Learn how CPU ready wait time percentage reveals hidden CPU contention, why it increases, and how SmartX ECP helps optimize virtualization performance.
SmartX and Hygon have launched the industry’s first “Chip-Native Encryption + Virtualization HA” solution, integrating Hygon CPU HCT encryption with SmartX ECP high-availability capabilities. The solution enables encrypted VMs to recover automatically across nodes, enhancing security, performance, and continuity for mission-critical systems in finance and other industries.
SmartX and Information2 deliver a joint HCI disaster recovery solution that achieves near-zero RPO and RTO on SmartX ECP. By combining a lightweight, scalable hyperconverged foundation with advanced data protection and replication technologies, the solution simplifies DR deployment, enhances flexibility, and ensures continuous business availability across mission-critical workloads.
SmartX and AsiaInfo Security work collaboratively based on respective strengths in IT foundation and cybersecurity capabilities to build an integrated defense-in-depth system, effectively responding to various security threats and making your enterprise cloud compliant.
As a competitive full-stack alternative to VMware, SmartX Enterprise Cloud Platform (ECP) offers four solutions that allow enterprises to replace VMware vSphere, vSAN, Tanzu, NSX, and other components at their own pace, achieving cost reduction and efficiency gains.
SmartX VM-Container Converged Infrastructure (VCCI) solution now supports the unified network security policy management of both VMs and containers. This enhanced feature ensures the efficient interoperability between virtualized and containerized applications while boosting the data security, visualization, and O&M simplicity of the entire SmartX Enterprise Cloud Platform (ECP).
With SmartX ECP, enterprises can deploy DeepSeek (with various parameters) on virtual machines (VMs) or on the bare-metal Kubernetes. By simply scaling ECP clusters with GPU-deployed nodes, enterprises can build flexible and high-performance DeepSeek infrastructure and accelerate the business validation process.
As SmartX keeps innovating IT infrastructure solutions and offers SmartX Enterprise Cloud Platform (ECP), this article will provide updated information on what makes SmartX ECP a competitive alternative for Nutanix solutions, including product and performance comparisons, four migration approaches, and four customer use cases.
Join us for an exclusive webinar where we explore the latest trends in digital workspaces, identify common VDI user experience challenges, and show you how SmartX VDI Solution can transform your VDI environment by improving performance, reducing costs, and simplifying management.
In our recent HK & MO webinar, VMware HCI Alternative – More Than Replacement, SmartX experts shared their insights on Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, and introduced how to achieve a full-stack VMware replacement and IT infrastructure modernization through our new solution – SmartX Enterprise Cloud Platform (SECP).
To better support mixed workloads of VM and container, SmartX introduces the VM-Container Converged Infrastructure (VCCI), leveraging its full-stack hyperconvergence capabilities. It enables users to centrally manage foundational resources, enhancing interconnectivity between virtualized and containerized applications and resource utilization.
Join our online webinar on August 8th to discover why you should transition from VMware to SmartX ECP!
Many users are concerned about VM migration when planning to replace VMware. In this blog, we will dive into the entire process of migrating VMs from VMware to an alternative hypervisor, using SMTX Migration Tool as an example. Finally, we will share two case studies that have achieved large-scale VM migration from VMware to SmartX ELF virtualization using SMTX Migration Tool.
SmartX has introduced an HCI solution for AI applications. Featuring the convergence of compute resources (CPU and GPU), convergence of workloads, and convergence of storage resources, SmartX HCI provides enterprise-grade AI applications with high-performance, low-latency computing and storage that enables flexible allocation of resources.
To help customers defend against ransomware attacks, SmartX has introduced HCI 5.1 portfolio with upgraded anti-ransomware capabilities. Leveraging SmartX observability platform (based on CloudTower), software-defined network and security product – Everoute, and SMTX Backup & DR, organizations can protect their systems from ransomware through a three-stage strategy: actively detect ransomware attacks, isolate infected VMs, and recover data in a secure environment.
In this article, we will discuss issues around multi-tenancy in Kubernetes. In particular, we will thoroughly examine the two implementations of multi-tenancy – cluster sharing and multi-cluster – and provide suggestions for enterprises caught in a bind.
Many enterprises now use Oracle Database to support mission-critical applications. A database with high availability helps ensure business continuity. That’s why companies would also reinforce Disaster Recovery (DR) for Oracle Databases to enable quick switching during a failure or disaster, thereby avoiding business disruption.
Leading Hyper Converged Infrastructure (HCI) provider SmartX announces that it partners with Rancher Labs to launch a joint solution which delivers production-proven distributed block storage and HCI platform for container architecture, at The 3rd Enterprise Container Innovation Conference (abbreviated as “ECIC”) held by Rancher Labs.
